The goal of the Lexis Prep Admissions Team is to identify children who meet the criteria for admission and facilitate their enrollment. The admissions team will include the School Director, the School Psychologist, the Admissions Coordinator and a classroom teacher.

Overview of Admissions Process
The Lexis Prep student admissions process includes a thorough review of the child and carefully considers parent and professional feedback.

Step 1: Initial Parent Meeting with School Director
The primary goal of the parent interview is to establish potential candidacy for the prospective student.

• Prior to meeting, parent completes Page one of the General Inquiry Form - Download inquiry form here.
• Parent should bring report cards, previous evaluations (educational, medical, psychological, etc.) to the meeting.
• Director collects General Inquiry Form and CBCL.
• Parent and Director discuss the student’s history and the child’s strengths and challenges.
• Director shares information about the school’s mission, philosophy, curriculum and tuition.
• Director completes preliminary review of student records and other available information.
• At the conclusion of this meeting, the Director will present the parent with an initial determination if  Lexis Prep can meet the educational needs of the child.

Step 2: Application Process
This step includes a review of available student records and an observation visit from the School Director
or School Psychologist to the child’s current school or home environment. Additional testing by an
outside education psychologist may also be recommended.

• Parent submits Release of Information Form and Application for Admissions Form.
• Parent submits application fee.
• School representative visits student in home and/or classroom setting.
• If necessary, the school will request additional records/evaluation results if no previous evaluations have been completed, or if prior evaluations are determined to be insufficient or outdated.
• School reviews all records and makes recommendation. Additional input from parents and other professionals are an important part of the review process.

Step 3: Admissions Decision

• Based on information reviewed in Step 2, parent is officially notified whether or not the student has been accepted to Lexis Prep. A consultation with the parent will be made to discuss the decision.
• Parent meets with school personnel to review all paperwork/documents required for admission, along with registration fee and signed Tuition Contract.
• Student is enrolled to begin class.

Step 4: Post-enrollment Orientation, Diagnostic Teaching and Intervention Planning
Following formal acceptance, completion of all necessary documents and payment of fees, the school will
develop an intensive education plan.

• The student and parent will participate in a parent-student orientation held prior to the student’s first day of school. The orientation will include a thorough review of the child’s academic program, daily calendar and other important topics. The orientation is typically led by the student’s homeroom teacher.
• New students receive an initial placement based on information gathered during the admissions process. A permanent placement is determined following a two week observation and assessment period. Following this period, teachers and staff will meet to determine the placement and academic program for the child. All recommendations will be included in the student’s UHA! Plan.
• A final copy of the plan will be given to the parent and placed in the student’s file.
